Support Item Tier list IN MY OPINION

CaptainAntiHeroz··1 votes·2,576 views

I feel like.... item 3157 item 3174 item 3069 item 3401 item 3107 item 3190 item 3222 item 3504 item 3050 item 3109 item 3092 item 3193 item 3905 item 3143 item 2065 item 3116 item 3800 item 3075 item 3056 item 3512

is my tier list of "support"/commonly picked up by supports items but its open for debate Note that these are just a few of the items and don't account for champs like Pyke or CRIT Thresh So what do you all think?

Zonyas seems a bit high given its cost and low team utility. Mejais and dark seal Mia makes me sad. I would move zekes vow and redemption up and lower the t3 coin line as I dont think the 4th ward and Hp gains are that significant.

zhonyas is just argueably one of the strongest actives in the game being stasis, its sad but because most supports are ap and can therefore benefit from cdr+ap with a strong active I felt it was basically top tier unless your playing a tank

Dark seal is really meh on support especially if you arent ahead and getting kills because its other effect can be achieved with the potion rune Zeke's is lower because it relies on coordination between adc and support and often in blinds isnt very effective being that it doesn't add health Redemption is high up because it has good impact on team fights even if you aren't directly in the middle of them, adds health, and can get cheeky kills. it can also be built with no real impact on piece of mind lost for most tank supports considering it adds more health for Locket and it gives them a way to heal their team

Personally, I think item 3504 is better as a first support item than item 3107 when I'm playing Janna

the main problems comes from taking a lot of damage early so it pretty nice to have, i never said its a first pick just that its more useful on a larger scale unless your Janna or Soraka

Zhonyas is a crap support item since its selfish and doesnt help your team.

Every item but thornmail and rylais on the second-to-bottom row are A or B tier.

Its your opinion but its a pretty bad tier list

I wasn't suggesting that zhonyas helps your team but it helps most supports more

and item 3143 isnt as good against Kaisa

item 3905 just isnt as useful as it was when it was in a support item because it takes up a slot you could get something more useful like item 3190 or item 3107

item 2065 and item 3800 are both very niche because though item 2065 has some nice assets its rarely if ever a PICK OR THROW item on anyone, whereas item 3800 IS AMAZING on engage champs and slow tanks its has a huge gap in price between its build items and final form making its value come much later in a game climate that has been shifting to earlier fights

And well I think we both agree item 3116 and item 3075 are niche and/or situational for most supports so nothing to be said here really

Zhonyas cant be a good support item when it only helps the support instead of allowing the support to better help its team. Its at the same level as rabadons and ludens as far as "support" items go.

item 3143 is a great item for supports that initiate. A potential teamwide slow is valuable for a team fight. You cant really say ita bad because ita not AS useful against ONE character.

item 3905 is great for helping initiating and chasing down targets. Its an undodgeable, practically global slow against 2 targets. Bring glacial augment and it might as well be a root.

I don't like twin shadows at all, the ghosts aren't reliable and sometimes focus the same person or don't get there in a reasonable amount of time, and its literally only ever considered by me on a glacial build which is like never because I have have better options. Randuins is alright sure, but I would definitely value a support surviving an enemy assassin trying to burst them to contribute to a fight than see that a support is "attempting to slow down someone on the enemy team" But thats just bias based of how broken Stasis is
